[xymon] Issue with 4.3 RC1

[Stewart, Tom L.]

We found out the problem. If you don't input the proper answers the
first time, the default adds the /xymon/. Make clean and changing the
Makefile does not change it after the fact. We had to remove the source
directory and reconfigured with the proper answer the first time and it
now works as expected.

 

Thank you all for looking into this.

 

Tom

The "extra" xymon is supposed to be there. It is what tells your web
server were to look for your web pages. Your configuration file for
Apache should contain something like this:

Alias /xymon/  "/usr/local/xymon/server/www/"
<Directory "/usr/local/xymon/server/www">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Which tells Apache to look at /usr/local/xymon/server/www whenever it
sees "xymon". There are similar entries for xymon-cgi and cgi-secure. 

Check you web server logs, I'm almost positive you find that Apache
cannot access the web page files. 

Thanks,
Larry Barber

I don't see how permissions would create the web page links with the
extra /xymon/ as part of the link.

 

For example the xymon web page comes up, but the Main view link shows
"/xymon/xymon.html" instead of just "xymon.html". I don't know why xymon
is adding the extra path. Any paths with xymon-cgi work without any
problems.

 

Thank you,

Tom

I suspect that you'll find that you have some overly strict permission
settings on your web files. I had a similar problem when I installed RC1
and relaxing the permissions so that the Apache user (usually "nobody")
can read the files fixed the problem. You will probably want to make
sure that the xymon user account has a umask no more restrictive than
022. Also, if this is a new OS install, make sure selinux is turned off.

Thanks,

How did you install? Over a previous release?

Check the XYMON.*URL entries in your xymonserver.cfg file.
